scrap radiators - worth contacting a scrap yard?

we've got 3 radiators we're chucking out (single panel radiators in good nick)

measurements are 1900 x 700 and 900 x 700 (mm)

we have 2 of the smaller ones.

i'm just wondering if it's worth the time to take them/get a scrap yard to pick them up?

thanks

there - 'in or at that place'
their - 'owned by them'
they're - 'they are'
it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)

    Leave them outside, they will be gone in no time. If you are in they might ask, if you are out they probably wont ask.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    A scrap yard won't come out for such a small amount. Leave them outside as 27 col says or if you are passing a scrap yard, take them in. There is probably between £5 and £10 of scrap value. Light iron (which is what these are classed as) is currently about £150 per tonne, so 15p per kilo.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.
